Mount Lavinia is 12 km south of Colombo. Its beaches are the most famous in Sri Lanka since the time of the English colony. For the most part, thanks to its proximity to the capital. If you want to spend a quiet day on the beach in relative privacy (compared to Colombo), you will definitely like it here.

The Governor's house, built by Sir Thomas Maitland in 1805 for his mistress Lovinia (hence the name of the place), is now turned into the famous Mount Lavinia Hotel (100 Hotel Road, Colombo 094). On the beach, hawkers sell fresh pineapple and coconut juices, as well as local souvenirs and bright shells.

The current near the beach is sometimes quite strong and often changes its direction, so you should closely follow the announcements of the rescue service.
